Rene Descartes believes all the knowledge he has acquired throughout the years could be false information. This makes him want a “fresh start” or to start from the foundations of knowledge. The way Descartes plans on doing this is by, somehow, forgetting everything he knows, and “learn” again what is useful and true information. But i ask how is it possible to forget something that is once learned? One might forget small details for example in recalling an event that happened 20 or so years before but never the whole event. Unless medical damage was done of course. But this would be cool i guess, being able to basically choose what to listen to and what not to listen to. This goes into free will and how it basically proven that it is only true during the present moment of making that decision. Because everyone makes decisions that they regret in life.
